F1 team bosses feel 24 races a season is the limit, as they adopt policies to rotate staff between events.
The 2023 calendar was originally announced with 24 races before the Chinese GP was dropped due to the lingering effects of COVID-19.
“I think 24 is the limit,” said McLaren CEO Zak Brown when asked by Motorsport.com about next year’s schedule. “Stefano [Domenicali] is going to set it as such. “And the schedule has definitely been improved from a logistics point of view, and it's not easy, because each territory has a reason why they want something on a certain date or there's other events or holidays, things of that nature. So it's top of mind for all of us and I have no doubt it'll just continue to improve.”Aston Martin’s Mike Krack stressed that teams have to ensure that there is no staff burnout by rotating people between events.
“I think all the teams do that, discuss that, try to find solutions. But again, it shows the strength of the sport, and it is something that we have all agreed to. And now we have to find ways of making it happen in a sustainable way for everybody.” “But there are racing series that are doing 32 or more weekends a year. It's just an optimisation problem. How do we make a life that is sustainable for everyone whilst continuing to perform?”
